MODERN APPROACHES IN TEACHING ENGLISH LANGUAGE

The main goal of teaching foreign languages is to train students to freely navigate a foreign language environment and to respond appropriately in various situations, that is, to communicate. Every language reflects the culture of the people who speak it. The task of the modern teacher is to create conditions for each student to improve their command of the language, to select teaching methods that allow each student to express their enthusiasm and creativity, and to stimulate cognitive activity during the foreign language acquisition process. Therefore, one of the main objectives is to cultivate an interest in this subject and strive to awaken the students’ creative and intellectual abilities. The aim of this article is to examine modern approaches, particularly those with a communicative focus, to designing English language lessons and to discuss their practical application. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the comprehensive review of modern methods of foreign language teaching and in the theoretical substantiation of pedagogical conditions for applying modern technologies in the teaching process. The practical significance of the research is that the theoretical principles can be actively used in the process of teaching foreign languages in general education schools. Additionally, this research explores conditions for effective use of modern pedagogical methods and developmental techniques. The introduction of modern technologies creates prerequisites for intensifying the educational process. They facilitate the shift from mechanical knowledge acquisition to mastering the skill of independently acquiring new knowledge. Modern technologies contribute to the development, preservation, and enhancement of students’ personal qualities.
